Profile:
Joe Hardstaff (senior - his son also represented Nottinghamshire and
England) was a short, powerful right hand bat, and a brilliant fielder,
especially in the outfield. Debuting with Nottinghamshire in 1902, he played
on either side of the War, retiring in 1926. He was a fine stroke player on
all sides of the wicket, and had a solid defence. He bowled occasionally,
his fast-medium style giving him 58 first-class wickets. Hardstaff's best
period was before the war, and in 1907, based on a fine innings of 124*
against the visiting South Africans, and his contribution to
Nottinghamshire's Championship win, he was
chosen to tour Australia. He had a fine tour, topping the first-class
averages with over 50, and making over 300 runs in the
Tests. A great favourite with the Australian crowds, it is a testimony to
the strength of English batting at this time that he never played another
Test. At the end of his playing career he became a popular first-class
umpire, and stood in several Tests (DL 2000).
